Chapter 182 “Roar”. A large Marine battleship sails across open seas under a partly cloudy sky, its sails billowing as waves crash against the hull. The vessel bears the word “MARINE” on its side and stern. A small bird flies in the distance. Below the panel reads “3RD SHORT-TERM COVER PAGE ARC "JAILBREAK"”.

Crocodile’s scarred face fills the frame, cigar in mouth, as he declares, “CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO MEET! VIVI AND KOUZA,”. Below, several large black cannonballs rest on a surface amid heavy rumbling SFX “ゴゴゴゴゴゴ…”. The scene shifts to a desert chase: rebels on horseback and camels gallop furiously through swirling sand clouds, one rider raising a weapon while others follow in the dust. Large impact SFX “ドドドドドド” shake the panel.

Rebel soldiers and a tall man in a black coat stand before a fortified city on a cliff. Voices shout: “STAND YOUR GROUND, MEN!”, “We should expect the ground to rumble this much at least.”, “There’s 2 million angry rebels storming this way.”, “The very Earth is shaking.”, “HOLD DOWN THE CANNONBALLS! WE CAN’T HAVE THEM ROLLING ALL OVER THE PLACE!”. The wide view shows the massive walled city trembling with heavy SFX “オオオオオオ… ズズズズズ…”. In the foreground, a woman in a hooded cloak and a small duck labeled “QUACK!” stand near a cloaked figure; she says, “Well, don’t expect me to take responsibility even if you get trampled!” while the duck quacks nervously.

Vivi leans forward desperately, calling “LEADER…! PLEASE LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY!”. The rebel leader, gripping a massive club, roars amid flying debris and impact SFX “ドドドド”, “Stick together men! We’ll break through the southern gates! Once we’re in the city grounds, the other gates will fall easily!”. Camels stampede in panic as he yells “PREPARE YOURSELVES!” and “OHHHHH!” while the ground shakes violently.

A towering cloaked figure looms with arms spread wide, shouting furiously as impact lines burst around him: "I SAID STOP, REBELS! STOP!" Below, Dalton glares with sweat on his brow, muttering "HM!I" A distant banner reads "WE'VE ALL BEEN SET UP!" while massive stylized SFX "グオアアアアア" and "オアアアア" shake the scene. A long-haired woman stares in horror, mouth open wide. In a lower panel a soldier on horseback yells "LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY!" as smoke and motion lines fill the air.
Explosions rock the battlefield as mounted soldiers on camels and horses charge through dust clouds, SFX "ボウン!!!" erupting overhead. The cloaked commander points angrily: "More importantly, watch out for the cannons! They've begun shooting at us!" Dalton snaps back, "A person!I Are you outta your mind!I" Another voice calls, "Hey! Wasn't there a person over there just now!I" In the distance a small figure tumbles amid smoke with the cry "QUACK!" and a faint "No..."
Thick smoke blankets the field as "クアアアアアア" and "モワ..." drift upward. The duck-like figure shouts "QUACK QUACK!" while someone insists "No, this can't be! The rebels can't see us with all this stupid smoke!" A wide view reveals a fortress labeled "THE ARMY!" The long-haired woman stares in shock, thinking "WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A STUPID THING...!I" A kneeling soldier pleads "F-FORGIVE ME, SIR! MY HAND JUST SLIPPED..." as an officer roars "YOU ARE NOT TO ACT WITHOUT ORDERS! YOU FOOL! I HAVEN'T GIVEN THE ORDER TO SHOOT YET!"
Panic erupts as the long-haired woman screams "NO, STOP! EVERYONE! PLEASE!" and "COUGH!" while clutching her throat. A Baroque Works-style skull flashes with the line "I PANICKED A LITTLE..." The cloaked commander yells "CHARGE! DO NOT FALL BACK!" and "DON'T BE AFRAID OF A LITTLE SMOKE!" The duck cries "QUAAACK!" amid swirling dust. A massive SFX "オオオオ" and "クアアアア" dominate the lower half as a voice rallies "FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY! DO NOT FORGIVE THE KING!"
A massive impact erupts as a black horse rears violently, its rider thrown forward amid huge jagged sound effects. A long-haired man with a ponytail clutches his head in shock while another figure lies sprawled on the ground. Above, bold lettering declares "LEADER!" with frantic reaction marks. In smaller panels, a bespectacled man sweats heavily, muttering "I MUST BE HEARING THINGS..." as nearby voices respond: "It's nothing!...No," followed by "What is it, sirI" The horse continues to thrash wildly, kicking up dust and debris while the ponytail man stares upward in alarm.

The ponytail man stares upward with wide eyes, hands pressed to his chest as he gasps "LEADER!I" Massive impact lettering "ドドドドド..." shakes the scene. A mounted figure on the rearing black horse shouts "THIS'LL BE OUR FINAL BATTLE!" while another voice cries "WAIT!" Below, a small duck-like figure yells "QUACK!" as a soldier is struck, crying "AGH!" The chaotic battlefield fills with motion lines, smoke, and scattered troops reacting to the sudden assault.

Explosive sound effects "ドドド" erupt as a wide-eyed soldier screams in panic. A commanding figure with a scar yells "COMRADES!" while a massive banner unfurls reading "LET'S GO," amid roaring troops charging forward. Artillery squads man huge cannons on a fortified wall as an officer orders "ARTILLERY SQUADS! AIIIIIM!" A subordinate replies "YES, SIR!" The ground trembles with the coordinated advance of soldiers and heavy weaponry aimed at the distant city.

Close-ups show the scarred commander's intense glare and gritted teeth as he bellows orders. Enormous lettering "ドドドドド..." and "ドドドド" shake the panels while cannons fire in rapid succession. A dramatic wide shot reveals the sprawling city of Alubarna under siege, with the commander shouting "CAPTURE ALUBARNA!" and "PAY NO MIND TO THEIR NUMBERS! FIIIIRRREEE!" Soldiers and camel-mounted troops surge forward amid smoke, explosions, and falling debris as the full assault begins.

Armored soldiers clash violently in a chaotic melee. A warrior with a massive sword swings at a cloaked opponent while another fighter wields a scythe-like weapon overhead. Blades clash with loud impacts as debris flies. A black duck-like creature snarls in the foreground. In quick succession, a helmeted soldier is struck hard, sending his weapon flying with SFX ガキン!! ビン!! ドン!!. The large cloaked figure turns away from the fallen foes and strides toward a grand staircase leading to an ornate palace, his white cape billowing behind him.

An armored figure lies defeated on the ground, groaning "UGH...". Vivi, bruised and sweating, stares in shock: "You... Covered me...!I" A voice calls "Carue...". The black duck Carue lies sprawled nearby with impact SFX ゴロン... ドカ.... From the ground, a cloaked man looks up at the distant palace and declares, "The battle ended up starting...! I'm sorry... Even after all our efforts," while another voice adds "But I won't give up! I'll stop it no matter how many times I'm knocked back to the ground!" The massive palace towers over the scene as the defeated man remains prone.

Sanji's intense close-up shows him sweating and glaring, declaring "THEN IT'S THE FOOLISHNESS OF GIVING UP!" and "IF THERE'S ONE THING I LEARNED WHILE ON THAT SHIP..." with SFX ビキッ. Below, Usopp rides a galloping white duck toward the edge of a cliff, shouting "GET ON!" and "Usopp!" Vivi's silhouette stands nearby as the duck charges forward with motion lines.

In the city streets near the palace, Sanji, Usopp, and allies regroup. Voices call out: "Well, we successfully managed to lure one of the enemies here." "Oh, you wanna know about what happened hereI" "'Sup, Sanji." "EYE-BROWS! WAKE UP!" "USOPP! HEY, USOPP!" Usopp explains the ducks arrived for help while Sanji reacts with "STEP THE HELL UP FOR GOD'S SAKE!" and learns "HE BEAT US IN 2 SECONDS FLAT." Sanji grits his teeth and mutters "Dammit, Vivi's in danger...!" with SFX グッ.

Riding across the desert on a galloping duck, Usopp looks back with a tense expression as someone shouts from behind. "THAT BIRD...!I" another voice cries. "If we don't hurry, the rebellion will only get worse! That bird's done for!" Usopp's face fills a panel, sweat flying as he grits his teeth. "Usopp... Prove your identity...!" he mutters to himself. In the next panels, Carue the duck quacks loudly while carrying a cloaked rider. "What's wrongI Hurry up and get on! QUACK! LET'S GO, CARUE!" Usopp turns sharply, eyes wide. "Hey now, are you doubting me!I" he yells, raising a clenched fist as impact lines burst around him. "Look!"

A massive explosion erupts as Carue is blasted backward. "PUWACK!" the duck cries, tumbling through the air. "CARUE!I" Usopp screams in shock. Close-ups show Carue's dazed face and Usopp's furious grin. "I wonder how she found out...I" he thinks, sweat dropping. A cloaked figure in the distance mutters, "I'd heard from Mr. 0 that they all had the same band around their arm..." Usopp leaps forward with arms raised, shouting "OKAMA DAAASH!" as he charges. "BUT WHATEVER! I WON'T LET YOU ESCAPE!"

A page of rough sketches and notes titled ONE PIECE. Hand-drawn panels show a figure falling down a well-like structure labeled "Mr. 2" and "Mr. 4," with surrounding Japanese text discussing abilities, the Baroque Works organization, and various agents. Below is a detailed chart mapping Baroque Works members (Mr. 0 through Mr. 13, Miss Valentine, Miss Goldenweek, etc.) connected to Marine and Alabasta symbols, with small circular portraits and the note "能力あねだいじ" (abilities are important).
